Yes to die cuts in the intermediate grades!
Die cuts aren't just for primary classrooms. You can use them in the intermediate grades too! We study symmetry in grades 3-5. We identify figures with no line of symmetry, 1 line of symmetry, or more than 1 line of symmetry. They have to detemine whether the line of symmetry is horizontal or vertical. My students really need hands-on practice finding lines and folding figures. So, die cuts are perfect.
First, I cut different figures using construction paper. Then, I laminated them to reuse and to handle the folds my students will be making. And voila! I have lots of examples and it didn't cost me any money!
I have one more idea to share. You can use an old CD to see the reflection of the figure from the line of symmetry. Another way to see symmetry!
